Black Sexlink Chicks - Dual-Purpose Brown Egg Layers

Black Sexlink Chicks - Premium Dual-Purpose Chickens

Black Sexlink chickens, sometimes known as a Black Star, were developed in the 1950s by crossing a New Hampshire Red rooster with a Barred Plymouth Rock hen. This hybrid breed was designed for efficient brown egg production and easy sexing—chicks can be sexed by feather color at hatch, making them an ideal choice for those looking to expand their egg-laying flock quickly.

Black Stars are a dual-purpose breed, excelling at both egg production and meat. Hens begin laying at around 20 weeks of age, producing 285+ large brown eggs per year. The hens have striking black plumage with shimmery green undertones and may feature mahogany or golden highlights around the hackles and breast.

Males grow to a mature weight of 8 lbs and can be harvested for meat, while females reach around 6 lbs. This hardy breed is well-suited to both warm climates, like Arizona, and colder regions, making it perfect for backyard farms, homesteads, or urban settings.
